Series Opening Theme

Recovery, Family, and Laughter

Mom redefined the modern multi-cam sitcom by tackling heavy subjects like addiction, recovery, and domestic struggles with a rare blend of sharp wit and genuine empathy. Following Christy (Anna Faris) and her mother Bonnie (Allison Janney), the show explored the difficult road of sobriety while maintaining a high-energy comedic pace.

The choice of Glinka’s “Overture” is a brilliant piece of production design by creators Chuck Lorre, Eddie Gorodetsky, and Gemma Baker. The frantic, high-class energy of the classical piece contrasts perfectly with the gritty, often messy lives of the characters, acting as a musical “reset” that signals the start of another chapter in their journey toward healing and better family dynamics.
